I've seen this post, but restarting squid or rebooting the server also takes
care of the issue. I've turned the debug option on, set store.log to none and
increased cache_mem from the default of 8 to 512, so far so good, still testing
with a limited load from our network.

I'll look into # dmesg too.

Thanks.
